“FOR A CONTROL FREAK, I HAVE SURPRISINGLY LITTLE CONTROL AROUND YOU. IT’S DISCONCERTING.”

-Beck

This is not my first read by the author but a first official review. I have read Kylie’s book before I started all my bookstagramming! And I forgot how much I LOVE HER books!! ALTERNATIVE CINDERELLA STORY! I really did not want it to end, and sadly I have to report but no epilogue and I almost cried!

The heroine ALICE is a woman living life day by day, working, accepting where she stands and doing so to get by. She is a waitress in California. When a new staff comes on, she is intrigued but keeps her distance. The hero BECK is seductive, handsome, big, strong, sarcastic, real and just real. He is passing through but when his eye caught Alice, he knew he had to be near her if anything. They both hit it off right away and things kind of go fast…but as Alice thinks this is too good to be true, it really is because the ever so sexy and mysterious new boy that doesn’t want to “take things to the next level sexually” because he wants to get to know her…really is too good to be true. This is very steamy as well, it is a slow-burn but once it’s there, it’s blazing THEIR CHEMISTRY IS INSANE from the banter, to jokes, to Beck quoting JANE AUSTIN and being the right kind of sarcastic well they both are, to alike-ness GAH I loved both the characters!

I don’t want to say any more because this really will shock you because not only is it fast love, but the mystery, the truth….gah, you will never be able to figure out what’s to come next with this. I really was taken back and forgot how much I love Kylie’s books because her writing is something else. It’s something different AND REAL! Absolutely couldn’t get enough of this book!

Remember that time you accidentally woke up in Vegas married to your hot younger guy friend?That’s basically my life right now. Mistakes were made, okay?He’s too young for me. Twenty-three to my thirty. And he’s saving himself for the right girl.Yup. Apparently I’ve married the last alpha-male virgin on the planet. And my stubborn, oddly traditional, new husband doesn’t want a divorce.He wants me.Complicated doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Down and Dirty is a sexy romp with a hero you’ll melt for and a relatable, sassy heroine you’ll love. If you’re a fan of steamy romances with laugh out loud moments, grab yourself a copy– you won’t regret it!

RELEASE DATE: March 10, 2020

Not my first read by the author, she is one of my favorites! I have also read all the others in the series & LOVED!!

This was a bit unconventional as in reverse roll type. The heroine is 7 rears the hero’s senior. The hero might be younger but definitely not not alpha haha that made sense to me in NY head. It’s a sweet story of two people that arose from a “mistake” and found that being together had its perks, being around one another wasn’t a hardship. Like i said i really doubt want to give out too much, but still the sports romance, older heroine, unconventional hero, all wrapped up in fate.

Some men know how to kiss.Some men know how to love.Sometimes you get those butterflies in the pit of your stomach instantly. Other times… well sometimes other feelings come first.In this collection, you get it all. Right down to those fluttering feelings at the end of the book that make reading romance worth every single page.Kiss Me Slow is a collection of four best-selling novels, including:Ryan’s Bed by TijanWe Own Tonight by Corinne MichaelsIrresistible Attraction (a trilogy) by Willow WintersKing of Wall Street by Louise BayTop Shelf Romance represents the best of the best in romance. There are no cliffhangers. These are simply must-read novels for readers looking for the best in happily ever afters.

This is one book four author’s and I have read books by each of the author’s/ My review will be based on a general on all. I wasn’t sure if I should do 4 review’s on here hehe. So here it goes:

-Irresistible Attraction by Willow Winters: Explosive, devouring, intense, sexy, amazing & more of Jace!!–Ryan’s Bed by Tijan: I have read this author before but has been a while. The heartbreak in this, gah you mix the love and you get something else!!-We Own Tonight by Corinne Michaels: Love me some Corinne always!! You want feels? You want romance? This one is for you!-King of Wall Street by Louise Bay: I’ve only read one book by this author, a little more light-hearted and funny with a lot of sass and sexy!

All in all I had a lot of fun reading back to back, new stories and re-visiting some. Definitely a sweet way of giving a little!

Swallowing lies has never felt so good.Reed freaking Rivers. I wouldn’t trust a word out of the arrogant music mogul’s mouth if his gold-plated tongue were notarized. The Man with the Midas Touch would say anything to get me into his bed, and I know it. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want him to succeed.Indeed, the moment I laid eyes on Reed while he was speaking at an on-campus event I’d crashed, my body physically ached to feel his golden fingers—and tongue—all over me. Unfortunately, though, I can’t give into my powerful craving to jump Reed’s cocky bones. Not until I’ve figured out my best strategy with him . . .The truth is Reed has something I desperately want. Something my heart desires even more than my body craves one night of delicious fun with the yummiest man alive. Reed assumes he’s running this game of seduction. He thinks he’s a thirty-four-year-old big cat on the prowl, and I’m nothing but a blushing twenty-one-year old field mouse with stars in my eyes.Yeah . . . no.As Reed is about to find out, he’s not the only cat on the hunt in this game of cat-and-mouse . .

BAD LIAR is the first book of the standalone REED RIVERS TRILOGY. The full trilogy is BAD LIAR, BEAUTIFUL LIAR, and BELOVED LIAR, to be read in order.

RELEASE DATE: February 24, 2020

Not my first read by author, the reason I signed up for this truly because the blurb promised so much (also i love dark romances) but the cover as well, I mean you can’t go wrong with Joseph. Sadly from the first few pages it did not live up to the blurb for me already. I don;t know how to put it but the atmosphere for me was not pleasant. I don’t know how to explain the feeling but if you’re an avid reader you might understand when reading something that just rubs you the wrong way. It’s a story of a older man that had something, then lost it all so young only to work his way back up all alone and his hard work paid off. The heroine is a younger woman just graduating college, in the same field as the hero. They first laid eyes on one another when the hero held a speech at the heroine’s college.

I don’t know but I was expecting a little bit more romance and not just an arrogant and asshole hero and a sex crazed immature young heroine. I really do get the idea and the whole thing but for me, not my cup of tea and I was really excited for this one. I know other people may enjoy this type of read, and I want to emphasize on MY OPINION not everyone’s that said, I wish i the best but I will not be seeking an ARC for book #2 or #3. The one amazing thing for me is the author’s writing, it was smooth transitions, beautiful words that flowed together, and I can always appreciate that.

Things that made me not enjoy the book:-In the first pages the hero is young (meaning the previous) which is fine but he was rather engaged in other activities that obviously did not involve the heroine — so okay, I moved on past that.-Then we get another woman who has meaning in hero’s life along with being an ex lover or current whichever way you want to look at it, and that one turned me off from the hero right away. And the fact that I got THAT before he even met the heroine.-Let’s talk about the heroine, from the beginning I did not like her, she seems immature and sex crazed to me, I don’t like woman like that and it turned me off. Just not my cup of tea!

HunterOne look. One touch. One sound of her beautiful voice, and I’m hooked.Like a dream I never want to wake up from, she pulls me in and wraps me around her.Consumed. Driven with need. Fueled by an unrelenting desire to make her mine.One night, I take more than she has ever given before, which only leaves me wanting more.Needing more. Craving more.She’s the one I’ve waited for my whole life.I’ll be damned if I let anyone, including our families, stand in our way.She trusts me. Hungers for me, just like I want only to covet her. Forever.But, there is one twist neither of us see coming.A curveball, no one could ever have expected.Still, I hold on tight to her light. Her beauty.She’s my Angel.Something about her makes me feel like I found heaven on earth.She’s my best Catch, and I’m not letting her go.Ever.

RELEASE DATE: February 14, 2020

Not my first read by the author. I am used to romantic-suspense and so when I got this, a sweet more swooney romance, I was thrown by it a little. So prepare, this is something different from the author, in a good way. Get ready to have your panties swooned right off by Hunter!

This is a story of two lost souls that live two very different lives, from the beginning. When Hunter and Rochelle meet, it’s by accident or fate. Rochelle gives Hunter a run for his money, he has to work hard at even getting her to go on a date with him, when he succeeds it’s a slow-sizzling-burn…he just can’t get enough of her. But having come from different lives, how long can they both maneuver the obstacles now society throws at them for being so different and not meant to be in their eyes? Watch these two try to navigate it, all while holding on to themselves.

This was a very sweet, fast love, opposite attract, beautiful and painful romance. Hunter is very swoony and you’ll fall in love with him right away, Rochelle our heroine is a little here and there for me because she started off very very shy and she springs up form time to time which throws me off each time. But them together, is simply beautiful. Sports romance with a twist!

It was just supposed to be one night.No kissing. No feelings. A wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am tangle in the sheets and we go our own ways.Only it’s a small town, and I was bound to run into the irresistible Porter Jones again.I just didn’t expect it to be at my job interview…which he’s conducting.Now the live-in nanny to his adorable seven-year-old daughter, I’m doing my best to avoid falling for his charms.Except it’s much harder than either of us anticipated.What’s a few romps between friends?No kissing. No feelings. Just fun.Sounds simple, right?Right…

“Tell me about it. All I wanted last night was some pizza.”“And all you got was a pizzathis ass?”Her face scrunches up.“I can’t believe you just said that. I can’t believe I slept with a person who would eventhinkthat.”“You liked sleeping with me and youdoughn’tregret it even though I just said somethingcheesy.“

It’s been over twenty-hour hours since I last saw him but only a minute since I last thought about him.

-Dory

Not my first read by this author, she is one of my absolute favorites! I also have read Book 1 & 2 in this series, LOVED both of them!! Been excited about this one!! You know when you read Teagan that you will get to be like part of the story, she transforms you in it…and laughter…lot’s of laughter…oh and cursing hahaha! In this case you also get an amazing little girl who will win your heart over in just a page. Well, to be fair she won my heart over in Book #2!

Porter, the hero is funny, handsome, arrogant, broody, so sexy and a great man. You get a little glimpse of him in the previous book and that is why I was so excited for his story. He is a man that never had anyone stick…therefore when he uprooted his whole life to be closer to his friends he isn’t expecting to find a woman who gave him a night of his life and also an employee…..again!

Doris aka Dory (yes like the fish) is a young woman fighting in the big world. She has been having some bad luck until one night at her favorite pizza place she runs into a stranger, well not run more like she stared really hard at him until he called her out on it. One night. No feelings. No kissing under any circumstance. Just sex. And well a job, but not because of the sex I promise *smirk*

This is a story of two people who both don’t trust themselves but have a pull to one another that they consciously don’t ignore but still in the back of the mind, they know that this can only lead to heartbreak. I don’t want to give out to much, honestly it was such a fun read. I loved all of them and especially them three together. The daughter is probably one of my favorites in this series along with Porter, something about his grumpy-handsome-ness…and all! Just in love with all this, if you want lighthearted read with a lot of laughter, banter and romance (and also the sexy time, good gosh there is no disappointment here on that *sizzling*)

Gwendolyn JamesThe Georgia peach that’s man hating on what was supposed to be her bachelorette weekend, is the perfect solution for me.

“Keep looking at me like that and I might take you up on that bathroom fuck,”

-Elijah

Not my first read by this author, and yes I have read all the previous books in this series! I am so happy to have the chance to read this early and get a glimpse of Elijah & Gwen’s story!! (BETA READING THIS) This is a story of a man who is lost after one of the worst things that can happen to a man. Starts of ‘real’ then hits you right away. Takes you far away into a beautiful place with two people who have the most amazing time in their life, just when everything seems to be falling apart, they found each other to keep whole.

I can’t say too much because ti will give out the whole book but I will say that there is a lot that’s going to happen and these same two people who once found each other, have to try and either find each other again or LIVE WITH letting one another go for the sake of a loved one. This has a lot of parts to it, it starts off with one way then turns into something sexy and beautiful…then it jumps a little ahead and then it’s a ride you won’t want to get off of! This book contains a lot of HEART!!

SkyeWalking down the aisle toward my arch enemy wasn’t exactly what I was picturing when I planned out my dream wedding as a little kid. However, as I take in his chiseled jaw and sexy smirk, I remember why I agreed to this sham of a marriage. It’s because I’m a glutton for punishment and love a good underdog story, and the more I get to know Liam, the more I can see that he’s exactly that. The underdog. I just hope I’m not wrong about him.

LiamMarriage is a load of crap and my dad knows it, which is why he insisted I find a wife if I ever wanted to touch my inheritance. Little does he know, I don’t have a problem getting my hands dirty in order to get what I want. And if I have to use my little brother’s nanny to prove it, I will. Besides, the girl drives me insane. It’s not like we have anything in common other than our mutual disdain for each other. This’ll be a walk in the park. I hope.

RELEASE DATE: January 13, 2019

Not my first read by the author and the previous one’s I have read I have liked very much so, this one was right up my FAV alley because I love a good enemy-to-lovers romance!!

Sky is a younger woman who is a nanny to an adorable little man, who’s father is a very wealthy and well known man. When one day they get home and a unknown vehicle is parked in the driveway, Skye hopes it’s not the asshole-playboy older brother Liam. Sadly, it was him. Things only heat up between them from then on.

When Skye loses her mind and agree’s to a FAKE MARRIAGE to Liam, she has no idea that his intentions are anything but good. Liam, always being a man who is misunderstood and not listened to and trapped under his father, he will do anything to be free of it all. Even if it means stepping over the “nanny” and his little brother. After all, all his life his father has pegged him for a loser and low life.

But, when his little lie turns into the biggest one yet…will he lose it all?

This story is fantastic because the heroine is strong, firm, smart-mouthed and gorgeous, she is still vulnerable enough to want to be needed. Liam may be a little shit and mean at times, deep down he has his reasons and doesn’t know any better because he’s been like that…always. You get bickering, sexy moments, sweet uber SWOON moments and heartfelt scenes. Would highly recommend this one!

Fresh out of a long-term relationship, Willow Parks is working two jobs and caring for her mother, whose husband left her with nothing but a pile of bills. That’s why Willow made a vow: no men until she figures out her own life.

But while she may not need a man, she could use a break. And a weekend away at a California beach to clear her head? That’s appealing. Even if the offer comes from Trey Collins, the irresistible tech-mogul millionaire who visits her coffee shop every morning like clockwork—and needs a date for his best friend’s wedding. With an adorable, occasional stutter, he refuses to take no for an answer.

Once the weekend begins, Trey is intent on proving how good they can be together. Willow’s even feeling tempted to break her vow—until reality rudely interrupts her well-deserved getaway. There’s no way she and Trey have a future, not with the colossal amount of baggage Willow has to offer.

But Trey is used to getting what he wants. He just has his work cut out for him convincing her that they want the same thing.

The steamy standalone novels in Stacey Lynn’s Crazy Love series can be read together or separately:FAKE WIFE • KNOCKED UP • 28 DATES • WEEKEND FLING

New to me author and Books, I have not had the chance to read the other books in this series, so YES i know I am jumping ahead but the blurb to this really caught my eye!

Right off the bat I fell in love with both hero and heroine, the story starts of lighthearted and sweet. Trey is seriously the sweet-sexy-alpha-and SWEET all mixed in one. Something about him, kind, sweet but yet strong and assertive. That’s why he does not take NO for an answer. Willow might have been hesitant but for a blank moment she gave herself fully to a man who is kind and a gentleman…until he biggest fear happened. And not only did she leave but also broke both her and his heart. Willow is so hard on herself and only knows bad relationships from her past and present with the incident of her father. Lucky for everyone Trey is not a man to give up, but everyone has their point of sanity right? The question is, is this going to be too much for Trey?!

Hero & Heroine POV, and no epilogue, so I am assuming since this is a Series these two will appear in the next set. (since this is my first one reading in the series, and I will say that I will be reading more by the author)

in·fat·u·a·tion A feeling of foolish or obsessively strong love for, admiration for, or interest in someone or something; a strong and unreasoning attachment From the moment Justin sees the beautiful blonde living in the apartment below his, he becomes curious, and over time, that curiosity turns into an obsession.

“You’re everything I didn’t expect to find.”

-Infatuation

Not my first read by author, she is on my top 5 favorite author’s! And yes I have read every single of her books and re-read them also. So when I received this Novella, I jumped right on it!! I needed JUSTIN like air!! I will have to say that reading the Underground King’s Series is probably a best idea before this. Justin is in Book #1 Assumption and I fell in love with him there. So keep that in mind also that this is a Novella.

Aubrey and Justin are neighbors, one day Aubrey’s car door would not shut and gives Justin finally an “in” which he takes gladly. He has had an eye on his new beautiful and sexy neighbor for a while now. AANNDDD I can’t say too much because if you’re reading at least Book #1 you’ll get more and then you’ll get the full in this Novella. I will say that it’s beautiful, just the closure I wanted from Justin’s story!! I have read this and already re-read it, this entire series is amazing so I would highly recommend that too!!
